Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

saramakos: Love the giant scorpion joke.... good old Australia, where if an animal isn't poisonous it just means it is venomous instead ;)
Now now thats not true, some of them are just clawed fanged savage killers with no poison at all

Moscow just reminded me of Tetris.....

What's with the earlier mentions of briefcases though? Syndicate?

The Indiana Jones-style map in the background is the definitive hint.

Square Enix headquarters are in Tokyo - and it is not on the map

So all this preface is for the release of The Witcher on XBOX right?.

boggydigital: Maybe locations first letters are significant? M R, C E, A I, S A - AMERICA S(AN FRANCISCO)?

Arteveld: Isn't it G E? For Giza?
Actually in the text they say - Moscow, Russia; Cairo, Egypt; Agra, India; and Sydney, Australia.

it just really looks like AMERICA with an extra S (South America (no idea)? Seattle (Microsoft)? San Francisco (LucasArts)). Though I admit - America doesn't sound right (US of A does)

Delixe: What company has an office in San Francisco? - SEGA America. Keep the Dream(cast) alive!
LucasArts - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LucasArts

That;s because GOG have already eliminated Square Enix from the map earlier today (about 8-9 hours ago) and probably will eliminate one dot at a time until two (EA & LA?) remain.

I'll point out that although the photo shows them in Moscow, the map clearly shows them in Saint Petersburg.

It's a well known effect of Dr. M's death ray that it causes all people in the vicinity (i.e. GOG employees) to be rather poor at geography (hopefully temporarily). Hence the reason why Moscow is in St Petersburg and why Microsoft's HQ are located in Canada on the countdown map, rather than in Washington state.
